Inspired by No Country for Old Men being utterly Panda Pops I've been having a thing about other films that are supposed to be great but are ****.

So far I have:
No Country For Old Men - Watched it last night and was so bored that I turned it off after 90 minutes, that takes some doing as I even watched the end of AvP!
Burn After Reading - Utter gubbins, went to the toilet 3/4 of the way through and couldn't be bothered to go back in. Was found in the bar.
Atonement - The most nominated film of the year" How? Everyone I have spoken to about this film including my mother thought it was ****.
There Will be Blood - Took 3 attempts to watch this film as it was so dull I fell asleep the first two times which means that it owes me 4 hours of my life rather than 2.
Donnie Darko - The most unintelligible piece of pompous nonsense I've ever had the misfortune to sit through.
The Blair Witch Project - I know it's popular to criticize it now but I remember walking out of a cinema in 1999 telling everyone who would listen that it was a load of overhyped bull while laughing a 3 of the people who I'd gone with as they were crying.
